I've been a huge fan of Emeralds and all their solo projects, and although one might squint to see the merits that were intended to be there, both at each moment and taken as a whole there is no depth to be found here. God, what were they thinking with the drum machine.

For their third album together, John Elliott, Steve Hauschlidt and Mark McGuire bring the same sense of fearless adventure to them modular synths, creating a seven-song cycle unlike anything in the Emeralds canon yet.
